(ThyBlackMan.com) Standing desks, two monitors, and espresso machines are staples in every office’s budget. Conference room chairs rarely get the same attention. That gap becomes obvious about forty minutes into a meeting, when people start shifting in their seats and glancing at the door.  Bad chairs shorten productive conversation and pull focus away from the agenda. No facilitation technique fixes a room full of distracted, uncomfortable people. The following sections […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A routine dental visit checks more than visible tooth problems. The dentist reviews the medical history, examines the teeth and gums, removes plaque buildup, and identifies any changes that need attention. X-rays are taken when symptoms, age, or dental history make them useful. Patients also receive practical guidance about brushing, flossing, diet, and future care. Knowing each step helps patients arrive prepared and recognize when follow-up treatment is needed, beginning […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The 2026 college football has the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with two teams led by former NFL all-stars as head coaches vying for the top of the conference. Norfolk State is seeing a big improvement in wins in 2026 by its team managed by head coach Michael Vick and Delaware State is building off the solid 2025 season led by head coach DeSean Jackson. Jackson’s NFL career was full of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) French economist Gabriel Zucman has come to California bearing a familiar French solution to a fiscal problem: another tax. Once based at the University of California, Berkeley, Zucman is back and campaigning for Proposition 40, which would impose an allegedly one-time five percent tax on the net worth of Californians worth more than $1 billion. Zucman, who coauthored the proposition, estimates that the tax could raise about $100 billion […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) What is troubling about the unrest spreading across Europe is not that people are taking to the streets. Protest is a legitimate part of democratic life. People have the right to object when fuel becomes unaffordable, schools deteriorate, public services fail, and housing slips beyond reach. Governments should hear those grievances and answer them. What should trouble every citizen is the moment protest becomes a license to loot, burn and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Sports columnists and other talking heads went into overdrive explaining why the Los Angeles Dodgers, the unquestionable best team in Major League Baseball, failed to win a third consecutive World Series. If they had advanced from the National League championship round and then beat the American League champion the Dodgers would have become the first National League team to accomplish such a feat and one of just a handful […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A company may become legally liable for an explosion accident when its negligence, unsafe work practices, defective equipment, or failure to follow applicable safety requirements causes or contributes to the incident. Liability can arise when a business ignores known hazards, fails to maintain industrial equipment, improperly stores flammable chemicals, or does not provide adequate safety training. However, an explosion alone does not automatically prove that a company was at […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Arguments over immigration can be smart or misguided, but they are always complicated. Let’s start with an annoying one. Donald Trump’s ramp-up of immigration arrests has hit the construction industry, much of whose labor force is undocumented. Employers of such workers are blaming the raids for the rising cost of housing, a hot topic at the moment. But then you hear of a builder in Jacksonville, Florida, complaining that […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground.” — Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) The U.S. Constitution was ratified to create and to restrain the government. It established boundaries beyond which the government may not venture, even when it invokes national security, public order, economic necessity, emergency or the will of a popular majority. Its purpose is not to make government more powerful but […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) For many African-American families, the lessons fathers pass on to sons extend far beyond practical skills and everyday responsibilities. Conversations about education, relationships, financial independence, and personal values often shape how young men approach adulthood. Yet one subject deserves just as much attention: looking after their health. Black men in America experience significant health disparities, including higher rates of certain chronic conditions and barriers to accessing appropriate healthcare. While […]
